Reports comparisons to <code>null</code> that are followed by a call to <code>equals()</code> with a constant argument.

<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>
  if (s != null && s.equals("literal")) {}
</code></pre>
<p>After the quick-fix is applied:</p>
<pre><code>
  if ("literal".equals(s)) {}
</code></pre>
<!-- tooltip end -->
<p>
    Use the inspection settings to report <code>equals()</code> calls with a non-constant argument
    when the argument to <code>equals()</code> is proven not to be <code>null</code>.
